There’s a distinctive mixture of fog, soil, clones and stars within the Los Carneros AVA of Napa Valley that we attempt to honor and spotlight. Adastra is Household-owned, run by Chris Thorpe and son-in-law Edwin Richards.We produce stellar Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot & Syrah. With a complete manufacturing of 1,500-2,000 circumstances per yr, Adastra wines are made completely from grapes grown in our personal CCOF-certified vineyards in Los Carneros.HistoryEstablished in 1995.hris and Naomi Thorpe, the house owners of Adastra Vineyards, moved to Northern California in 1980. They purchased the 33-acre Carneros ranch that was to turn into Adastra in 1984.Adastra Vineyards started as 4 acres of Chardonnay and 4 acres of Merlot. Emboldened by the enthusiastic reception of wineries to the fruit, Chris expanded plantings of present cultivars to seven acres every and daringly added six acres of the heartbreak grape, Pinot Noir.In 1995, son-in-law Edwin Richards grew to become common supervisor at Adastra and wine manufacturing started in a small manner with two barrels of Merlot. In 1996 the Merlot label was joined by Chardonnay, with portions of each wines growing slowly over the subsequent few years.Additionally in 2002, Adastra started to farm organically within the perception that this is able to produce higher high quality grapes and have a constructive environmental affect.
